Throughout the year, Culver City Public Works Environmental Programs and Operations will offer free workshops, classes, and events for Culver City residents. These programs are offered free thanks to partnerships the city has with other agencies, community groups, and organizations. All events are posted on the city calendar. You can also receive advanced notice of these events by signing up for email notifications.

Here are ways you can get involved:

Install a rain garden in your yard. A rain garden acts in three ways on rain and other water runoff: slows it down, spreads it out, and allows it to sink into the ground. A rain garden is simply a planned depression or swale planted with native vegetation that can thrive in wet and dry conditions. The area collects rainwater from roofs, driveways, and sidewalks to be absorbed gently into the ground, filtering out pollutants through the soil, rocks, and sediment below ground.

Help maintain Culver City’s rain gardens, which are planted with native vegetation to enhance water quality, provide habitat for native wildlife, and beautify a stretch of Ballona Creek. Culver City has two public rain garden locations: South Creek Side (Commercial area at the end of Pearson Ave., 500 feet from Jefferson Blvd. Park on Jefferson Blvd.) and North Creek Side (Residential area at the end of Jackson Ave., behind locked gate, which will be opened for workday events.) To learn more, visit the Bay Foundation website.
